Dr. Hoa Tong, on a visit to Burundi this summer and after being
warmly greeted the people of the Republic of Burundi, said "I immediately
became a student of Burundi's government, landscape, climate, markets and
especially the people."

He went on to say, "I learned that the government of Burundi is
progressive, with their President Pierre Nkurunziza, implementing policies that
unite the people to take pride in their nation and help build it. The markets
are primed and a rich incubator for exponential growth. The Burundians are
gentle, kind, honest and helpful people - with resilient hopes and powerful
dreams. In spite of their tragic past, they are determined not to let it hold
back their bright future. They are united in this effort to change national
mind sets and embrace the good things God and their own dreams would bring to
pass for them."

Dr. Tong observed, "Burundians loving one another seems
the only deterrent from repeating the mistakes of their fathers." He went
on to say, "They are discovering love is the only force that would empower
and move them to transform their beloved nation."
